Best Retro Handheld

How is PS2 emulation on the new breed of handhelds? Can they maintain 60fps? I really need some portable Initial D and Godhand!

I can only speak for the Odin 2 but its been great, I've found little to nothing that has had real issues.

RP5 has no particular issues with the vast majority of PS2 titles

Saw the TrimUI Smart Pro can be hand for under £50 but still holding off at the moment. I think the extra functionality of YouTube Netflix and so much makes the device more usable.

I do want to re live pokemon Yellow soon though haha.

Don't let the lack of YouTube stops you, you always have your phone anyway.

Buy a trimui brick because you never just own one hand held

I had ruled the brick out but I don’t know why. It would be a very close like for like for a gameboy colour.

Good point, thinking there would be few and far between scenarios where I would “need” that function.

YouTube on that size screen would be like going back to a phone from 2008. It would be very difficult to "touch" any buttons on a screen that size.

On AliExpress, do you have a preferred seller or just get consoles from cheapest one you can find ?
Thinking of that tiny A30 or Brick for starters... Suppose brick gives option to customize ?!

Usually go with in this order of preference and importance...

1 - Official store
2 - Most number sold, with good ratings to go with it.
3 - Cheapest/Free delivery (combined total)

I got the Brick from someone call Ampown Store.
